Broken Heart (Ex-Troubles and confusion)
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 11:18 pm
Well, I don't normally ask for advice often like this. But, over the years I've known petopia to have the kindest community around. Here is my story (Long story)
Well, me and my ex have dated for 6 months. (I'm 16, she's turning 15 in December) and we're very different people, but care for each other very much (atleast, how I feel) I first met her in Febuary of this year. At my lunch period 6th halfway through the year. After two weeks, I found out she liked me (She was my first love) and I took her to see Red Riding Hood, and then a special treat at Applebee's. She told me afterwards that she loved me. (Atleast, in spanish) and over the next few months everyone knew we were together. I saw her every day, and waited for her after my classes and to walk with her. We didn't care if we were late or had to run. We hugged hello, and goodbye. During lunch, she had these mood swings where she can be very snappy at her friends, yet call it a joke (Cursing, insulting your family, ect.) but she always was sweet to me. Whenever I invited her to something in those few couple of months, she would try to find time to come. We went to the Mall 3 times, Movies 4 times, she came to my Taekwondo class only once. But she never got back to me whenever I invited her to come to our/or her house. She always hugged and flirted with me a bit, and I carried her on my back alot. For those first couple of months, everything was fine. Best moments of my life and I started to love her very much.
But those were the good times. Now, here comes the painful parts. After three months of being together, her female friend and another guy friend (who I scared off) started slapping her rear. So after they stopped, I figured after all the flirts and sexual pokes she did, I could tease back and gently slapped her rear. She got on the bench, and kicked my right in the ribs and yelled "I DON'T LIKE THAT" which, afterwards made me heartbroken for the rest of the day. That moment. That day is when everything started falling apart. On the same day I expressed how I felt, and told her to stop letting other people touch her, and to stop treating me like some kind of punching bag (She practiced kicks on me for some random reason) and she felt horrible. She said she even cried. Well, over the following months she grew less and less interested, and she started talking to our friends more than she paid attention to me. I mean, she sent me pictures, texted, and called me a few more times, as well as everything else. But then she transformed into a snappy, really moody person at me sometimes. She spat at my arm when I tried to carass her cheeks, she interupted when I tried to speak by shoving food or her hand on my mouth. So, I expressed myself a second time at what her limits were, and this time she just said "Ok, I'm very sorry" so no "Oh I'm terrible" or "I'm crying" this time in response. But it gets interesting later. I bought her about 40 dollars worth of gifts from a vacation spot me and my family went to as summer started. She said she adored them, and appearently still has every gift I gave her in her room. But anyway, during the summer she started paying less and less attention. I tried to connect with her. Even buying games and wasting money just to hang out with her. Got LIVE for the first time, only to be called an idiot by her and her friends. (Which, I just quit) I always invited her to things with me. She never got back to me other than "Dunno" and such. In July, I emailed her if she still wants me, even after me turning a little stressed out (I was turning a bit stressed/moody after a mix of finals, heartache, and a death in the family) and she said she still wanted to. Then, a month later on Augest 16th, my female friend that actually hanged out with me during the summer that I talked to about this told me to text her with the question "I love you very much. Do you love me back?" And she replied with "I just think I'm too young to love, how do you feel?" I told her how I felt about our relationship, and how she distanced herself over the summer. She said that "I think I just need to be a free bird." and "I only want you" "I don't want to lose you as a great friend" and "It hurts me to know you're hurting"
And that's how the breakup happened. I heard from a friend she cried alot, and she was very depressed afterwards. (Which she "cured" with coffee and Xbox) but I was different. I accepted the break-up at first because I was done with the emotional pain. She was very friendly with me over the first weeks of school. But then she started flirting with guys infront of me the same way she did to me. (Feeling chest, hair) and other things. So I distanced myself from her. Then, we got back to being good friends after two weeks of being pretty distant. (I avoided seeing her in the morning/lunch) and it was fine. I didn't invite her to my birthday party, and said it was canceled even though she still never gave me anything. We went to open house together, and she showed me mixed signals. I was happy. Because I thought that she had matured a bit, and maybe things could work out. We had played Xbox with each other for the whole weekend. Then, on Monday she embarassed AND broke my heart infront of everyone at the lunch table (I had lunch again with her this year, same period, but more of her "Drama/bitchy friends this time) and I just walked out. I then heard from one of those friends she seemed "Happier that you were gone" and I just lost it. I talked to her about it, and her response was "BAAAAAAAAAAW" I didn't see her, didn't talk to her, nothing. There was one moment where I got moody again, and she told me to "Chill" and that was that. Then one of my OWN female friends told her that I still loved her, considered my soulmate, and that I would always care for her even if she didn't for me anymore" to which she replied "I don't want to really talk about that right now" and just dropped it. Then, after a few awkward conversations we got back as good friends. Then, after two weeks my friend Chenya told me my ex doesn't want a boyfriend right now, and my ex told her that "She said "Probably not" to the question if me and her would get back together in the future" To where Chenya saw tears come from my eyes. Which she told my ex, as well as my response being "I'll still have feelings for you, even if you don't for me." which, I think I made the dumbest mistake telling her to say that. To which my ex reacted with a laugh and said "But we already talked about this."
So now, here we are, around recent time. Two weeks ago, me and her went to the Comic Con in New York, and she decided to text me the 2nd day we were there, not bothering to ask if I was already there yesterday. I asked her if we could meet up, but she just made a joke and never got back to me of if she wanted to hang out. So I then had an idea of inspiration in my mind. I would focus my heart and soul on trying to become good friends with her again. And it worked. Even after some jealous guy who liked her told her in the middle of the two weeks that I said to him that "She's immature, and I'm too mature so that we could never be more than friends" where she got pissed at, but didn't totally believe I would say that. Which I cleared up with "I would never badmouth or say anything to insult you." And now, after two weeks she's been having on and off days of being attention to me, and this new guy I think she likes. Over the course of me trying to bond with her as a friend again, she met this guy in class that she fools around with (I have never had a class with her except lunch, we just saw each other in-between) and since then she's called him, sat next to him at his table a few times, and then finally said that she thinks his table is "Cooler" than our original table and her and her bitchy friends all moved to this guy's table. Which, her friends are obviously trying to promote her being together with this new guy. They never liked me anyway. But also, Emily has since been trying to connect with me more. She texts me every night now, plays Xbox with me again, fools around with me, pokes me, flirts with me, walks with me. Every conversation we have reminds us both of the old days, and she's been reaching out to me. Always looking at me when I talk to other friends, smiles and laughs together with me. I'm glad I completed my goal, but jealousy is starting to invade my heart now that she hangs out with this other guy now too. She's been splitting up times at lunch where she talks to me at my table, and then goes to this other guy's table.
I still want her again. Because even though I said all the abuse and negativity, I've come to know and love her as a person. She's been kind to me for these past 4-5 weeks, and giving me mixed signals again. I did leave a couple of good moments out, and a couple of bad. But alot of it feels like I did something wrong. Like the entire reason we broke up was all on me. I was getting moody and a little needy at some parts, too.
But here is what I'd like some advice mainly on. Do you think she's conflicted with picking me or this other guy? Do you think she's letting me off easy, or do you think she's using me to get to him, or vice versa?
I am seeing her in a Halloween party in a few days, dressed up as a guy she actually wanted me to be for a Con a few months back. Thought I'd show her it. I also thought about asking her if I could go Trick or Treating with her in the same costume as the party, and then on Character day dress up as Phantom of the Opera and ask her to the dance on Saturday to go "just as friends" and to have a night of fun. But like I said, I left out some positive things about her, and some negative things about me. But basically, I'd like to know what you think about it all, petopians! Ask me anything I need to explain, and I'll fill you in.
